Essay
An optically active D-aldopentose produced an optically inactive aldaric acid upon treatment with HNO3. When this aldopentose was subjected to a Ruff degradation, a D-aldotetrose was generated. This aldotetrose gave an optically inactive alditol upon reduction with NaBH4. Use these data to provide the structure of the starting D-aldopentose.
